About two years ago, Novell partnered with Macrovision in order to ship a Software Packaging component with the ZENworks Suite. This Software Packaging component, called FLEXnet AdminStudio ZENworks Edition, is a limited version of FLEXnet AdminStudio Professional Edition, containing the Repackager, the Tuner, and the Distribution Wizard components.

Repackager is a component with which so-called legacy setups (non-MSI setups) can be repackaged to a MSI package.

This article focuses on the benefits for the ZENworks Administrator of using the Repackager instead of Novell snAppShot.
